Use when an EU supervised entity references an index in a way Regulation 2016/1011 regulates, such as issuing an index-linked instrument; decides whether the Benchmarks Regulation binds at all before testing the Article 29 use conditions.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## When to Use Use this skill when an EU **supervised entity** — a UCITS, an AIFM, an investment firm, a credit institution, a market operator — references an index in a way the EU Benchmarks Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011, "BMR") actually regulates: issuing an index-linked instrument, determining an amount payable by reference to an index, or tracking an index to measure a fund's performance, define its asset allocation, or compute performance fees. Its first job is to decide whether the BMR binds at all, because since **1 January 2026** it usually does not.

Everything else — every non-significant index, every third-country index outside those categories — is out of scope, and its administrator's absence from the ESMA register is no longer a reason not to use it. A tool that still tests "is this on the register?" first will block references an EU fund is entitled to make. Once the engine concludes the obligations do bind, it applies Article 29 (may this …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/eu-benchmark-regulation-for-strategies-referencing-indices@sha256:bb88a5558d675868The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
